Welcome to the Utah Nurse-Midwifery Site

The
word midwife literally means “with women.” Nurse-midwives are “with women”
for their lifetime and provide excellent healthcare through the many changes in
women’s lives.

We are Here for You

There are currently over 90 nurse-midwives working within 42 practices across the state of Utah. Utah nurse-midwives attend between 4,000 to 5,000 births each year. To find a midwife in Utah, please click the "Find a Midwife" link to the right of the screen.

Nurse-midwives
are the experts of normal pregnancy and birth, but are also well trained and
comfortable recognizing and managing complications of pregnancy and birth. For
complications out of the scope of their practice, they consult or refer to an
obstetrician.

Nurse midwifery care in Utah is covered by
Medicaid and
most private insurance companies.

ACNM, along with organizations representing over 700,000 women’s and adolescents’ health care providers, oppose all efforts to limit medically accurate health care information available to patients and to exclude qualified providers from participation in the Title X program of the Public Health Service Act (Title X).
